This is the Angle!

Hi guys,

I'm so sorry that I've been awol for so many months.  I guess it's been hard for me to get into fashion as of late.  I've been more consumer with writing right now.  I'm trying to complete a YA fantasy novel that will make girls hearts go ba-bump ba-bump.

If you wanna read my blogposts about writing, definitely check out mauramilan.wordpress.com.  I kinda feel like I'll be posting generally about fashion in there too and also about my extreme nerd obsessions.

But right now, I wanna gush about these Helmut Lang boots.

Not sure if you can tell, but the heel comes to the end at a really cute point.  Even though, I haven't been wearing too many high-heel type boots (mostly wearing flat boots now), I'm a sucker for strange heels.  I also love how the top of the heel isn't completely flush with the leather.  It's so blocky and cool.

Oh, Helmut Lang...you got me again!!

These are some of my favorite looks.

1-3 Alexander Wang

4 - Helmut Lang

5 - Yohji Yamamoto

These are some of my favorite looks that I have seen so far.  Overall, it seems like everyone is into louder prints, which is probably why I'm choosing looks that that don't have prints at all.  But from the above, I love that these outfits have so much texture and the ability to layer in amazing ways.

I'm so captivated by those Alexander Wang pumps in pic 3.  The peek of skin is so sexy, and I'm hoping that they're comfortable..but they probably won't be :D

I'd have to say out of all of these, my favorite look is the Yohji look (#5).  It's such a great street look that can look proper and also very casual.  I'm down with this look from head to toe.

What have you guys been eyeing at this fashion week?

This is stingray.

As you all know, I love LD Tuttle boots.  So for a couple months now, I've been obsessing over the Helmut Lang X LD Tuttle boots, especially the black version with the stingray leather in the back.  How unique!  It really just makes me wanna throw down 700$ and buy them, but then I look at my bank account and say "not quite yet."

I guess I have been going wedge crazy lately.  I have a pair of Rick Owens that I wear so often since they're so comfortable, and just got a pair of Ann Demeulemeester suede wedges.  I wonder if I can include another wedge in my collection.  But the silhouette is so unique and striking that I'm sure I can make some room.

You can buy them here.

Oh my gosh.  It's been so long, right?  I'm so sorry I've been away; I guess I've just been feeling a little uninspired lately.  But I just wanted to drop in and say hullo.  

I went to Italy recently, and it was ridiculously hot.  Seriously, I would get back to the hotel and just lie there and rub my feet.  So much walking, and none of my shoes are comfortable enough to handle that much travel.  Even so, there were so many sights!  Such a historic country to visit.

The first picture was from Venice, and the second was from a piazza in Rome!  More pics to come; I promise.

I hope everyone is well!

Tee: Oak

Leggings: Helmut Lang

This is vest season.

Summer is coming so incredibly soon.  It's time to take off those jackets and put on those vests.  I bought this Rick Owens vest for that reason.  I was so excited that I had to take some pics right after taking it out of the box, still with tags and everything HAHAH!

I love this vest.  It has this great diagonal button closure that wraps around me like a snake.  So I can wear it like a cloak or wear it like a boa constrictor.  I can put it over any regular t shirt or dress that I have, and it all looks fantastique!

Vest: Rick Owens

Tshirt: Alexander Wang

Jeans: Helmut Lang

Boots: Finsk

This is an outfit.

Hey guys!  I'm in New York right now, just hanging around.  I had some downtime so I thought I would post an outfit set.  The Kimberly Ovitz shirt I have is huge.  It's so loose around the shoulders and very baggy.  It's a definite must to wear a shirt underneath with this one.

I'm so excited to do some shopping in New York.  Oak was one of the first places I went to.  But there's another store, so I gotta check that one out tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Here are my fave looks from Helmut Lang's new collection.  I especially adore that first look.  The layer upon layers!!  I really like that cape with the huge funnel neck.  I always have loved Helmut Lang for their outerwear, always incorporating shearling and fur into their heavy winter coats, and these new pieces are so fabulous.  And that black suit with red dye/bleaching treatment on it is such a unique look...so bold and so strong.   I'm a big fan of this year, I'm almost speechless!

This is helmut.

Helmut Lang's black and white and monochromatic selections from the Pre-Fall 2012 selection!!  My mind is blown by how ridiculously amazing and edgy they are.  The cutout top looks so masculine yet so delicate, and I love the white black acid wash jeans.

I'm pleasantly pleased, and I can go to sleep now and dream black and white dreams.  

What do you think of the new pieces??
